"We are on track to get my wedding shoes on."

About: University Hospital Wishaw / Emergency Department

(as a service user),

A few weeks ago I fell and tore the ligaments in my ankle. As a result I had to attend Wishaw accident and emergency hospital and would like to take the time to thank Liz (apologies for not catching your last name), the nurse who looked after me. Liz is a true credit to her profession - kind and knowledgeable.

She took the time to speak to my fiance and I, explained in detail the nature of my injury, the aftercare required and was kind enough to personalise this to my work.

We really cannot thank her enough for her kindness and professionalism. Please let Liz know that we are on track to get my wedding shoes on!

Thank you again
